He jumped into puddles
the silly young fool.
He jumped into puddles
while going to school.
He splished and he sploshed
and he drenched passers-by.
He never said sorry
and never said why.
From children to parents
to much older folk.
Oh, even the reverend
got a good soak.
He splished and he sploshed
and he splashed low and high
and even umbrellas
could keep no one dry.
He jumped into puddles,
again and again.
The last one he jumped in…
well…
it was a drain.
